The weight capacity of these machines can vary widely from 6 to 45 tons, although the weight capacity of most models is within the range of 12-20 tons.

On many modifications of modern container handlers, one can install standard forks, as well as various other types of working tools, for example - double fork, loading baskets, grips and mandrels for rolls, lifting beams and even buckets.
